Top Four Cs

  1. Karl-Anthony Towns (Timberwolves) – $8,100 vs. Bulls (29th)
  2. Brook Lopez (Nets) – $7,700 @ 76ers (23rd)
  3. Myles Turner (Pacers) – $6,500 vs. Pistons (28th)
  4. Jahlil Okafor (76ers) – $6,000 vs. Nets (25th)

Rationale:

  • Towns scored 47.8 fantasy points against the Bulls in their first meeting. He’s playing very well as of late, scoring 46.0 FPPG in his last six games. With the Bulls playing without Joakim Noah and Nikola Mirotic, it gives Towns a better matchup than the healthy Bulls team he played in November.
  • Lopez only scored 16.8 fantasy points in 19 minutes in his first meeting with the 76ers. He’s been playing better lately, scoring 48.9 FPPG in his last five games. Playing starter’s minutes will allow Lopez to hit value on Saturday.
  • Myles Turner is scoring 15.8 FPPG in 12.5 minutes per game against the Pistons this season. With an increase in playing time, he’s seen a spark in production. His athleticism and ability to hit a jumper makes him a great play against Andre Drummond.
  • Okafor scored 41.5 fantasy points in his first game against the Nets. He notched a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds in that contest. His production has been down lately, but he can use his agility and quickness to score on Lopez.
